a catalogue of Lucy's -- Community Aide Abroad. She bets
Matt he can't last 24 hours under third world conditions.
If she wins, she gets to buy all the stuff she wants from
the catalogue. The trick is that she's already bought the
stuff. Matt eventually gives in, because it's a good
cause, and doesn't mind that she's already bought (and
given away most of!) the stuff. He gets a set of bongo
drums for his troubles. Linda Shelley returns to Wandin
Valley, and drops the bombshell that she's engaged. She
drinks too much wine at Camelot and then drives away
distraught. Her purse gets caught under the brake pedal

on their way to an acupuncture seminar in Burrigan. Linda's
left hand is trapped under the brake pedal -- it's almost
severed and she's losing a lot of blood. Harry decides to
amputate, both because of the bleeding and because the
car could explode from the petrol leak. Terence is
shocked and blames Harry for amputating when there must
have been another option. Harry and Rosemary don't
understand why he's so upset until Shirl arrives and

Wandin Valley and she went into treatment for drugs and
pathological jealousy. Money goes missing at the club and
Donna is suspected at first. They later find out that
town drunk Archie Hamill "borrowed" it. Luke
doesn't see Donna's bad side but she rubs everyone else
the wrong way. Steve doesn't like her at all. Donna slips
some acid into Luke's coffee and he is taken to the
hospital by Steve and Kate after being found wandering
the road. Harry explains the details of new medicare
funding and drugs to an elderly patient, Trevor Flood,
who eventually takes the wrong dosage of his medication
in his confusion. Cookie gets a box of live snails
instead of ready-to-go escargot and decides to hold snail
races -- he bets heavily on his entry and loses. Donna's
jealousy gets worse and she tries to kill Kate with a

cough. Harry has been using abbreviations on patient
files and gets into trouble when Esme tells Herb Monro
about the mysterious code on his file. Herb's code was
